Summary
What does this car say about you?
I was a bit soft to buy it?
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Distinctive, even classy......apart from thinking"where is it this time?" as it goes back to Mitsubishi to get another glitch fixed.
Would you buy this car again and why?
No, far too many minor teething(and one gigantic) issues...9000 mile service interval is not on, and Mitsibishi just seem to use it as a get-out for problems encountered.
What are you likely to buy next?
Something boring, reliable, solid and....German...all the same word, really.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Engine light kept coming on, oil light kept coming on, even after Mitsubishi dealership services...then got it serviced at Halfords, and turbo blew about 2 months later...Mitsubishi blamed wrong oil used in service..Halfords' denied liability, then Mitsubishi claimed I had missed my due service mileage in any case.
What's most practical about your car?
Great car (when it goes) for money,good bit of poke, comfy, and eats up motorway miles.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Cruise control, 4X4 switch option...but voice control for mobile is a nightmare., not recognising anything but a Prince Charles-type accent.
